Such lists are always personal preferences, especially when not specifying the criteria by which the selections were made. But anyway, not to talk about "puny engines for tiny boats", I came across this page: http://people.bath.ac.uk/ccsshb/12cyl/ It is about the Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged diesel engine. Available in 6 to 14 cylinders. Some facts for the larger end of the scale: Total engine weight: 2300 tons (The crankshaft alone weighs 300 tons.) Length: 89 feet Height: 44 feet Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm Maybe a bit off topic for this newsgroup - I doubt anyone here will ever build boats that can use even the smaller versions of this... -H |

I think they had about a five foot bore. They ran the blowers for the furnaces. Casady A blast furnace... in a boat :-? Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |

Hi Wayne: The boat im on has a bunch of motors on board: two 12 cyl slow turn mains and a few 71 series detroits. One of 12v71 generators was having problmes and the mechanic shows up. I asked him if he had a 30'-60' boat what would he prefer as a main. WIth out a hesitation he said John Deer. Why I asked. They dont leak, easy to work on, and part easy to get. I asked why not a 71 series. He just shook his head and pointed to the 12v71 and said, thats why...... :/ So I asked the old engineer on the boat what main he would prefer. Now this is a guy who has spent almost 30 years in the GOM oilfield on most every type of boat you can imigine. WIth out a hesitation he said, Detroits are a pretty good choice ;) Why I asked? His reply, Cheep to buy, cheep to rebuild, parts everywhere, and easy to work on.... added theyre just a good engine. So I asked one of my captains who shriped for 20+ years befor running OSVs. His reply, Cats are good choice....... What did I take away from this survey? I guess ya cant really go too wrong with just about any of the more well known manufactures. I have a 1979 30QM30H (raw water) yanmar in my boat. It just keeps running. If it dies, I figure if it lasted 30 years Ill just rebuild and use for another 20+ years. I tend to be a "if aint broke dont fix it" bob |
